I'm posting from a full install of Stardust 007, it's looking very good so far, only a couple of minor quirks, or perhaps one quirk and a bug. The wireless icon in the main tray shows wifi as down although Pwireless 2 connects, a click on the icon changes it to active. More serious, when I select ' Power off ' at shutdown I get the ' Puppy is shutting down ' message for 5 or so seconds, then repeats of ' modprobe: FATAL: /sys is not mounted ', followed by ' requesting power down ' and ' system halted ' with a blinking cursor. I can shut the laptop down with it's power button, and it boots normally when switched back on. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I used stardust for about 7hr, lol every time I type stardust I type startdust, Like the 8 time already,lol
anyways all my desktop drive icons on the bottom disappeared, most the time on other puppy versions you click /root/.xinitrc and it refreshes them. Not with stardust, I had to restart X-server. But the second time loading live from the cd I had a desktop background.
All in all not a bad puppy version, a couple small quirks, but nothing serious.

jpeps, tried your suggestion, no change. Trying to enter a command - any thoughts? - at the flashing prompt just kicked the process into life without waiting for a ( I presume ) timeout, but still ended with ' system halted '. A couple of extra things I've noticed, /sys is mounted, at least it shows the green spot, and I got a glimpse, too quick to read, of an application running according to the main bar before it switched to the text shutdown screen.

EDIT: Sorry jpeps, misunderstood your post - only on my first cup of coffee here in the UK! - <ctrl/alt/backspace> and entering 'poweroff' at the prompt just gets the same result. As I'm running a full install as opposed to frugal I wonder if that's why I'm the only one who seems to have this bug?

FURTHER EDIT: Just tried a reboot. Successful, but still getting the ' /sys not mounted ' message.
